David Cameron has announced plans to make government finance schemes available to Islamic students and entrepreneurs ahead of the World Islamic Economic Forum next week, Wayne Evans explains why. The head of Polish Catholic Bishops' Conference, Archbishop Jozef Michalik, has apologised for saying that child abuse by priests often occurs because children from broken homes are "searching for love".

Trevor Barnes visits a Death Café - and lives to tell the tale. Edward Stourton talks to the Syrian scholar Sheikh Mohammed al-Yaqoubi.
